(Followed by more errors related to cairo)

I'd like to "backport" current poppler onto servers and even with distros
<year old (Fedora Core 13) it's a nightmare. Is it unreasonable to ask
poppler to maintain compatibility with stable releases of dependent
libraries e.g. cairo 1.0, glib 2.0 etc? It surely can't help testing to
restrict your community to those people on the very latest library levels?

All the best,
Tim.
